The <b>DD KART</b> is a <b>real drift kart</b>, not just a virtual mod.<br>
This Assetto Corsa mod is based on a <b>real life drift kart built and driven in New Zealand</b>, designed specifically for <b>affordable, high quality drifting seat time</b>.<br>

This <b>Assetto Corsa DD KART mod</b> represents <b>Version 3.0</b> of the project.<br>
<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Version 1.0</b> – Early real-life prototype (now obsolete)</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Version 2.0</b> – Current real-life DD KART</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Version 3.0</b> – A future concept created for Assetto Corsa</li>
</ul><br>
While <b>Versions 1.0 and 2.0</b> exist and operate <b>in real life</b>, <b>Version 3.0</b> is a <b>concept evolution</b>, allowing sim drifters to experience the next step of the DD KART.<br>

The main development focus from <b>DD KART 2.0 to 3.0</b> is the <b>front suspension and steering geometry</b>.<br>
<br>
<br>
To make the driving feel closer to a <b>real drift car</b>, Version 3.0 introduces:<br>
<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">A <b>double wishbone front suspension concept</b></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Updated steering geometry</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slight chassis dimension changes to support the new layout</li>
</ul><br>
These updates aim to deliver a <b>more realistic drifting experience in Assetto Corsa</b>, while staying true to the real DD KART’s DNA.<br>
